Investigation Summary
At approximately 8:00 a.m. on May 11, 2004, Employee #1, a foreman, was surveying a construction site of a high school educational facility. While walking down the edge of a dirt embankment, his footing gave way, displacing 20 in. by 16 in. of earth and falling into a 2.67 ft high pit. He fell, landing upon a vertical metal stake and sustaining impalement injuries to the rectal area. The steel stake was a rebar tube with SuproTek Model Number PC-110. It was 18 in. long by 1.5 in. wide by 0.5 in. depth. There were no bar guards, protective covers, troughs, or caps on the protruding reinforcing steel. He was transported to a hospital where he received surgery and postoperative care. At the medical center, he was hospitalized for approximately seven days and later discharged.
